Caution
	Make sure that the entire stack used is either 64bit or 32bit (no mixing, that is). That means the JVM, Python and JPype.

First, install JPype:

JPype is also available in the Debian repos:

sudo apt-get install python-jpype

Then, make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to your jre or jdk folder, so that JPype can find the JVM.

	Note
	Installation can be problematic on OSX. See the following Stack Overflow discussion for help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8525193/cannot-install-jpype-on-os-x-lion-to-use-with-neo4j

You can install neo4j-embedded with your python package manager of choice:

sudo pip install neo4j-embedded

sudo easy_install neo4j-embedded

Or install manually:

	Warning
	It is imperative that the entire stack used is either 64bit or 32bit (no mixing, that is). That means the JVM, Python, JPype and all extra DLLs (see below).

First, install JPype:

	Note
	Notice that JPype only works with Python 2.6 and 2.7. Also note that there are different downloads depending on which version you use.

Then, make sure the JAVA_HOME environment variable is set to your jre or jdk folder. There is a description of how to set environment variables in the section called “Solving problems with missing DLL files”.

	Note
	There may be DLL files missing from your system that are required by JPype. See the section called “Solving problems with missing DLL files” for instructions for how to fix this.

Certain versions of Windows ship without DLL files needed to programmatically launch a JVM. You will need to make IEShims.dll and certain debugging dlls available on Windows.

IEShims.dll is normally included with Internet Explorer installs. To make windows find this file globally, you need to add the IE install folder to your PATH.

Required debugging dlls are bundled with Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable libraries.

If you are still getting errors about missing DLL files, you can use http://www.dependencywalker.com/ to open your jvm.dll (located in JAVA_HOME/bin/client/ or JAVA_HOME/bin/server/), and it will tell you if there are other missing dlls.
